I tried to use an obnoxious amount of "h" to signal sarcasm. I guess that didn't work 🙃

Are you saying Dead Space does have a sexy lady? Or that CERO is more lenient on gore for games that do?

Japanese media does get weird with the lewd stuff, but the rules and regulations are just as harsh and unbending on the sexual stuff as they are on violence.

I don't have a horse in this race, I was making a joke that the difference in the games appears to come down to one having a sexy Lady and one generally doesn't AFAIK.

I believe Japanese gamers should have just as much access to Dead Space and any other American titles and vise-versa. I imagine the reasoning is along the lines of "video games make people violent" or something, but I think that should be a family or parental decision, not the government.

While I'm at it, I don't think pornographic or pornographic adjacent content should be available to minors, and I cringe at some of the stuff I see on the Nintendo or Playstation stores, that's probabaly my most conservative view.
